London Jewellery Week moves to Somerset House

London Jewellery Week will celebrate its fifth year with a move to a new location, Somerset House, home to London Fashion Week. The capital's premier showcase for Jewellery brands and designer talent has also confirm that it will be taking

place a week later than previous years to incorporate the 2012 social and jewellery calendars, and will now run from June 11-17.

The week will feature exclusive launches, designer showcases, jewellery fashion shows, open workshops, designer talks and will centre around consumer show ‘Treasure’, the contemporary jewellery showcase, which will take place at Somerset House from June 14-17.

Della Tinsley, Director of London Jewellery Week commented: “We are proud to be invited to host the centrepiece of London Jewellery Week at Somerset House. Treasure has always been in inspirational venues since the first show in 2008 at the Tower of London, so this is the right move for London Jewellery Week and Treasure.

“The new venue will enable us to expand Essence the ethical jewellery pavilion further and create other specialist pavilions, alongside the exciting introduction of the trade days,” Tinsley added.

Additionally, The Jewellery Show has been officially chosen as the 2012 trade partner of London Jewellery Week. The two-day trade event will take place June 12-12 at Somerset House.
